White Chocolate Peppermint Kiss Cookies

Looking for an irresistible Christmas cookie recipe to add a little something sweet to your holiday season? These White Chocolate Peppermint Kiss Cookies are so good, you'll never be able to eat just one.

 

White Chocolate Peppermint Kiss Cookies

 

Everyone loves different things about the holidays, but one of my FAVORITES has always been Christmas cookies. It’s been a tradition in my family for as long as I can remember to make at least a dozen different kinds and then share them with neighbors, friends and at holiday get togethers. We typically have a handful of the same ones we make every year and then I always like to throw in some new ones.  This recipe is definitely a keeper for this year. They disappeared almost as fast as I made them.

White Chocolate Peppermint Kiss Cookies

Alright, so here is what you will need:

2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour  ( I am a fan of whole wheat flour in some recipes, but it won’t work in this one)
1 and 1/2 cups  sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp peppermint extract
1 cup white chocolate chips (feel free to add more)
1/4 cup of both white and red decor sugar
1 bag candy cane kisses

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.  Then start by creaming together the butter and sugar with a hand mixer. Once fully mixed add in the eggs, vanilla and peppermint extract.  Now you have a choice of mixing together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl or I’m going to be honest, I always just add them right into the same bowl. I HATE extra dishes to clean and I’ve never had an issue with the end product. So, feel free to be a rebel like me and add in the flour a 1/2 cup at a time and mix. I’ll usually add the cream of tartar, the baking soda and the salt after I’ve mixed in about half the flour and then finish off with the rest of the flour.

Once the dough is fully mixed, add in your desired amount of white chocolate chips and stir just until evenly distributed.  Next mix together the two decor sugars in a small bowl and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.  Roll the dough with your hands into small balls and then roll in the sugar mixture to coat and place on a cookie sheet.

Place the cookies in the pre-heated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.  While the cookies are baking unwrap your candy kisses, because you will need them almost immediately after the cookies come out of the oven.

Remove the cookies from the oven when done and then press one kiss into the center of each cookie. Do it carefully and try not to move the kiss afterward, because the chocolate will become soft quite quickly.  Allow the cookies to cool a few minutes and then remove them to a rack.  You will want to let the cookies sit a few hours for the kisses to harden back up before you place them in a container for storage.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
